Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 47 Your life is as cheap as dust

Cheng Fu didn't want to understand why it was the prince, and how did his brother get such news?
Cheng Han knew what she was questioning, but his source of information was too complicated, and it was difficult to explain it now. On the other hand, he also thought that there was no need to tell his sister for the time being, so as not to increase her worries.

"The matter of the Ning family is a small trouble for the Xu family. If it weren't for other people's ulterior motives, it wouldn't be where it is today." To put it bluntly, the Ning and Xu families are no longer getting married, but completely tearing each other apart.And the consequence of completely offending the Xu family is that Xu Zexu Ye and his son will stand against them without hesitation.

"The prince of Wuding County is the prince's uncle, and Zhao Yanran is the prince's younger brother...how could the prince attack them?" The Zhu family stared at them. After the prince left Beijing, Concubine Zhu Xian and the seventh prince made frequent moves.At this juncture, shouldn't the prince strengthen his relationship with them?

It was not easy for Cheng Han to grasp the movements of the prince. He couldn't guess what the other party was thinking.But no matter what reason the prince wanted to deal with the Ning family and Zhao Yanran, he was happy to see it succeed.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know when I have news."

Cheng Fu nodded obediently, the little brother was right, there was still a little less news about them, and worrying was useless.And if you think about it carefully, the Xu family and his son seem to have been passive throughout the whole matter, but are they really passive? Obviously not.The Xu family father and son didn't take the Ning family seriously at all, and they knew very well that they couldn't do anything wrong.She even badly thought that every move of the Ning family was under Xu Ze's surveillance.

Then again, Cheng Fu understands Ning Ying's heart for Xu Ye and her strong obsession with him.But the king of Wuding is like this, and so is the empress, it's unbelievable.Is he trying to win over the Xu family, or has he been so powerful for so many years that he has gotten so carried away that he wants to conquer all those who are unwilling to submit to him?
Cheng Fu shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts.Just now she suddenly had an idea, if Xu Ye succumbed, how would she arrange a careful plan to sabotage it.

Imperial study room

After reading Zhao Yantao's memorial, Emperor Chengqi slammed into Changshun's face angrily.

Xu Ze picked it up from the ground cheekily and opened it. It was too late for Emperor Chengqi to stop him, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.After reading the memorial, Xu Ze sighed inwardly, why did Emperor Chengqi think that the prince was too obedient and mediocre before, the prince is obviously a bloodthirsty wolf.

Putting the memorial back in its original place, Xu Ze knelt down, "Your Majesty, I have seen something that I shouldn't have seen, please punish me, and allow me to resign and retire."

This matter had nothing to do with the crown prince, he could have done his job well outside, but he decided to take action, and pointed the finger at his maternal ancestor's family and his own brother.Xu Ze was a little dumbfounded, what the hell was going on.

The crown prince's memorial stated that Prince Rui, Zhao Yanran, was helping the evildoers regardless of right and wrong, and asked the emperor to issue a decree to seize the prince's title and assign him to guard the imperial mausoleum.It was also "by the way" mentioned that he was assassinated on the road, captured alive, and the witnesses and material evidence were conclusive, and it was the Seventh Prince Zhao Yanjin who ordered the emperor to send the Seventh Prince to the Clan Mansion.

Xu Ze didn't believe this, Concubine Zhu Xian and Zhao Yanjin were not that stupid.Nine out of ten the so-called assassination was fabricated by the prince, and he was so reckless that he knew that others could see through and still said so.Every line between the lines is like a wayward child, just like playing.This is also where Xu Ze admired.

How should I put it, this memorial is actually not simple. The crown prince is reminding the emperor that he is the heir apparent. He is not in the capital. The emperor, queen and his younger brothers have all forgotten his existence and indulged some people to have bad luck. The thought that should have.If the emperor doesn't show a correct attitude, this memorial will be an appetizer.

It has to be said that the crown prince has a very thorough understanding of Emperor Chengqi's nature, and Xu Ze also believes that the crown prince's hands will not be empty. It is impossible for him to deal with the plans of the Zhu family. He may have been waiting for his father. Behave.If you want to blame it, you can blame Emperor Chengqi, as a monarch, wanting to treat individual children he likes leniently, but he doesn't want the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other, which is a kind of greed in itself.This is impossible in the homes of ordinary people, let alone the royal family with huge interests.

Xu Ze smiled, did the crown prince learn the way of governing the country, or the way of governing his father?

Tsk tsk, my little six is ​​still cute.

"You are quite courageous." Emperor Chengqi's face was gloomy.

"The minister is terrified, the minister is guilty, and the minister's virtue is not worthy." Xu Ze bowed again.

"roll."

On the same day, Concubine Zhu Xian was removed from the right to assist the harem, the seventh prince Zhao Yanjin was punished by Emperor Chengqi for a small mistake and banned for three months, the fourth prince Zhao Yanran did not receive any more punishment, but his concubine Zhang Wanqing was ordered Safely raise the baby in the mansion until the baby falls to the ground.

All of a sudden, several forces seemed to have their throats blocked, and the turbulent court situation suddenly calmed down. Although it was only temporary, it was a good thing for those neutral factions, and finally they didn't have to be coaxed, tricked, and lured into standing in line every day. up.

"The Ning family should stop for a few days." Xu Ze held a leaflet of a tavern in his hand, thinking about whether he would be busy after the Dragon Boat Festival. "Old Mountain Records", the name alone is enough to taste, he doesn't want to miss it.

"Xu Ye let it go, I want to follow." Guang Zhi was spinning a flute in his hand.

Xu Zebai glanced at him, "You're just worrying too much."

The two were whispering in the pavilion, Xu Ye passed by the side path with a few books in one hand and a half-gnawed peach in the other, just glanced in the direction of the two, and had nothing to say. He didn't intend to go forward to join in the fun, so he walked to his house in a dawdly manner.

"..."

"..."

Jinling's Manshang

Who would have thought that Ma Xiaodong would have fans because of his good storytelling.Looking at the group of children with an average age of fourteen or fifteen at the door, Cheng Fu felt a headache.But the more troublesome thing is not the fact that fans gather at the door every now and then, raising money and giving gifts to each other.There is a rich family who holds a tea party in a few days and insists on inviting Ma Xiaodong to come and tell the guests a story.

"Our lady said, you can set a price for how much it is." There were two nuns who came. Looking at their clothes and their arrogant faces, they knew that they had some status in the master's house.

Cheng Fu smiled warmly, "It's not about the money, it's because we don't have such rules." Wu Ziqi's previous behavior had already given her a bad impression of the Jinling family. get bored.

"Little girl, since you are young and don't know Yao's family in Jinling, the old lady doesn't care about what I said before. Mr. Ma has to go to the tea party of my Miss Jiu's, or he has to go if he doesn't." One of the women suddenly raised her voice.

Cheng Fu took a sip of tea leisurely, "Does it matter if you recognize the Yao family? I know how to get to the government office."

"You... don't know how to live or die!" As he spoke, he waved his thick slap, intending to slap that immature face.

But before she got close to Cheng Fu, she was overturned by a force, and the cabinet in the corner fell down and hit her, and there were screams in the wing room.If there were no outsiders around, Cheng Fu would have stood up and applauded Luo Xing.

"Come on, throw these two wives out. From now on, don't bring Zhao Qiansun and Li's family to me. Bad luck."

Guanshi Qian was taking Ma Xiaodong upstairs, and was startled when he heard that "Zhao Qian, Sun Li" had his surname in the room.Seeing his nervous appearance, Jiujiu couldn't help laughing.

The two women are strong and strong, but there are a lot of guys in the tavern, and they all share the same hatred. Without Luo Xing's efforts, the teenagers dragged them out of Shuimen Street.

Since the opening of the tavern, Ma Xiaodong has never been home. He lives with the guys in the spacious new house on Shuimen Street. Because of his good performance, he got a separate suite. The environment is much better than Cheng's small courtyard.No storytelling was arranged in the afternoon today, he was reciting new stories in his own room, and when he learned that someone was going to the tavern to cause trouble for him, he quickly left the manuscript and ran to the store in a hurry.

Cheng Fu told him about Miss Yao's tea party, "What are your plans?"

"I won't go." Ma Xiaodong said with a dark face.

Cheng Fu asked the others to go out first, leaving only Ma Xiaodong inside.

"The old woman said, the price is up to me."

"I won't go, and I won't go if Miss asks me to go." He almost cried out.

"Do you have any unpleasant past?" Cheng Fu asked boldly.

Ma Xiaodong's eyes were red, "No."

"You Lord Luo beat him to the ground, and Li Xiaotang dragged him out again. This matter has nothing to do with you. If anyone troubles you, you can just push it on me. Don't promise anything in private."

Ma Xiaodong opened his eyes wide, a little dazed, he never thought that his master would protect him like this.

Cheng Fu smiled angrily, "If you want to go, I won't let you go. When we signed the contract, you have to obey me. If you violate it, I won't let you off lightly." Now that these people followed She is her responsibility.As long as they are loyal to her, she tries to keep them alive with dignity.

"Miss, I know." Ma Xiaodong lowered his head.

Cheng Fu's thoughts drifted away, "In a few years, would you like to come back to Beijing with me?"

"I will go wherever Miss goes." Ma Xiaodong replied almost without thinking, and he was not curious why Cheng Fu returned to Beijing.

This matter was settled so simply and in a few words, without any twists and turns.Cheng Fu was in a good mood, and just about to ask how the new story was going, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, Cheng Fu got goosebumps all over his body, and pointed out the window helplessly, "Those kids... you can comfort yourself, don't let them disturb the people .”

Ma Xiaodong also knew that he suddenly had a group of admirers, all of them were young men in Jinling City, many of them were from well-to-do families, and they often spent money in taverns.He tried to persuade, but they didn't listen, and he couldn't help it.

I thought the matter was settled, but who knew that after an hour, another person came to the Yao family, and this time the person who came to the door was not some maidservant, but the serious Ninth Miss of the Yao family.

"I want to see who dares to beat me in Jinling City." Miss Yao Jiu's full name is Yao Liyu, she is seventeen years old, and she has the graceful appearance of a typical Jiangnan woman.

Cheng Fu was only 12 years old, and the Yao family was a little pissed when they saw the small figure coming down the stairs.Did they mobilize the crowd to deal with this little girl?Yao Liyu didn't expect that it was a child who dared to challenge her.I don't even believe that this "Manshang" is opened by her.

"Is there something for everyone?" Cheng Fu's tone was calm, but he was already a hundred unhappy.Anyone who directly or indirectly affects her business, don't even think about being kind.

Yao Liyu originally wanted to vent his anger on the two injured nuns, but after seeing the group of strong men beside Cheng Fu, he hesitated and changed the subject, "I will hold a tea party at home in a few days, and all the famous ladies in the city will visit. I happened to hear that Mr. Ma from your place spoke very well. I would like to pay a lot of money to invite him to come to your house on the day of the tea party to talk to all the ladies and gentlemen to relieve boredom. Just ask for the price, my Yao family can’t afford you.”

Yao Liyu looked at Cheng Fu intentionally or unintentionally, and the more he watched, the more anxious he became, because this wild girl from a foreign country was wearing a lady's outfit that was not popular in the south of the Yangtze River, and her appearance was so eye-catching, Yao Liyu wanted to scratch her face.

Cheng Fu ignored her aggressive gaze, "It's our rule here that storytellers don't go out to work. Miss Nine, please ask someone else." This is the first of its kind, and there will be many such troubles in the future, won't Ma Xiaodong be Becoming a game of the rich and powerful?
Besides, even if it is not for the benefit of the tavern, she still has to think about Ma Xiaodong's mood.He resisted this kind of thing so much, he must have unknown sadness.If she made this decision, it would be no different from Yao Liyu, whom she despises.

"You don't have to drink a toast, do you know where Jinling City is?" Yao Liyu was completely enraged.

"Then Miss Yao, tell me where Jinling City is." Cheng Fu looked directly at her.

A contemptuous sneer appeared on Yao Liyu's face, "Do you know how many great families there are in Jinling and how many aristocratic families in Jiangnan? In our eyes, you are inferior to an ant. Your life is as low as dust but you don't know it. It's ridiculous and sad."

Before Cheng Fu had any thoughts, the expressions of the people beside her were a little ugly.Some people wanted to persuade her to give in, including Ma Xiaodong, who was blocked by Luo Xing, biting his lower lip, obviously unable to bear the pressure and wanted to compromise.

Cheng Fu didn't care about them, she left the Gu family, left the capital, changed her name and changed her surname to start over, and there was no way out.In fact, when I think about it carefully, she has lived for 12 years, which way is better?So now she is not afraid of anyone.

"It doesn't matter what you think of me. I'll say it again for the last time: my people don't work outside the home. If you insist on making things difficult for others, I don't mind if the big guy goes to the magistrate's yamen to talk to the official. Anyway, I have plenty of time." Cheng Fu Spread your hands, as if you have the guts to come.

"If you want to do it, you can do it, but if you break something, I will pay the money to the Yao family's cashier." Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

Cheng Fu really wanted to have a good fight today, even if she was going to die, she didn't want to make it easy for someone like Yao Liyu.

"You, just wait and see." Yao Liyu was so excited that she almost couldn't breathe. No one dared to resist her like this since she was a child.

"Slow down." Cheng Fu shouted.

Luo Xing led several people around to the door, blocking Yao's family.

"I will truthfully report today's matter to the prefect of Jinling. Ms. Yao had better not think about it." Because I really don't want to.

Yao Liyu laughed angrily at this savage girl, "Prefect? ​​Haha, the officials of Jinling City are still living on the face of the aristocratic family. You think they will seek justice for you." The last sentence was said through gritted teeth.

Cheng Fu was not surprised that she would underestimate the role of the government. This is a difficult and miscellaneous problem among officials and people in the south of the Yangtze River.But what happened with Wu Yongxu and Wu Ziqi last time gave her a new understanding of the Jiangnan officialdom.She believes that it is these aristocratic families who really can't see the reality clearly.

"Whether it works or not, Ms. Yao can try it."

"By the way, my elder brother is a scholar, and our brothers and sisters have a little acquaintance and a small family in Beijing. Ms. Yao must think carefully about whether she will offend us." Cheng Fu was afraid that she would be hard of hearing, and the latter sentence was almost word for word. Say.

Luo Xing and the others received Cheng Fu's signal to get out of the way. Yao Liyu didn't have time to ponder Cheng Fu's words, and led them back in a desperate manner.

Ma Xiaodong collapsed and sat on the ground, heaving a sigh of relief.

Cheng Fu took the tea from Jiujiu, moistened his throat, "It's getting late, go back and get ready."

What happened just now, everyone was sweating for her, but she was always there, and she even looked a little high-spirited.Everyone has to admit that their young lady is really courageous.
